By bending under the femur the leg that will receive the opposite foot in lotus, I begin to cause a pelvic tilt
I lean forward slightly and feel the pelvis tilt.
It is often accompanied by a pleasant feeling of relaxation, of returning to a natural position, from which I had moved away.
Then, the foot of the other leg comes to rest on the thigh and the foot of the initial leg easily finds its place on the opposite leg
By gassho – joining hands and gently bending forward — the posture is found.

I’ll take your word for it. Age and inflexibility would likely leave me unable to walk if I tried that…

There is an inner expression of the posture,
which has nothing to do with flexibility or age.
Can you experience this ?

I have no idea. How does one compare « inner experience »?

In reality there can be no external experience.
External experience is an oxymoron.
Like a ‘present memory.’
Or ‘past impression’
If past impression is an oxymoron,
Then time is an illusion.
An ex-post-split-second construction.

Therefore, it is impossible to say whether what I experience bears any relationship to what you experience. Indeed, cannot even say you exist, save as some element within my experience.
You have validated radical subjectivity, again. At least, that seems to be my experience.
